Knight defeated Jey Uso with a roll-up pin. He countered Jey's roll-up pin into his own and was able to leverage Jey's weight to get a three-count. After the match, Jey was totally dejected around the ringside area and went on to destroy the Prime advertising set that was next to the announce table.

Later in the night, Jackie Redmond tried to interview Jey Uso, but didn't get many answers regarding his headspace after the loss. As for LA Knight, he posted a social media clip where he said that his last time wasn't now and that his time was only just arriving.

In the second semifinal match, Gunther defeated Solo Sikoa to advance. Both men destroyed one another in the match, and they both used illegal moves and attacks while the referee was down.

In the end, Gunther hit Sikoa with a low blow and turned that momentum into a power bomb. After connecting with that, Gunther made the pin for the victory.

After the match, LA Knight walked out to the ring. Knight went face-to-face with Gunther, and both guys trash-talked each other. Knight said he would see Gunther soon and then walked off as Gunther smirked at him.
